Fieldbus Adapter
Fieldbus Adapter
Overview
The MD5 can be set up to accept control from an external
system using standard serial communication protocols. When
using serial communication, the MD5 can either:
• Receiveallofitscontrolinformationfromtheeldbus,
or
• Becontrolledfromsomecombinationofeldbuscontrol
and other available control locations, such as digital or
analog inputs, and the control panel.

page 45.
• Fieldbus adapter (FBA) – With one of the optional
FBA modules in the drive’s expansion slot 2, the drive
can communicate to a control system using one of the
following protocols:
— Probus-DP
®
— LonWorks
®
— CANopen
®
— DeviceNet
®
— ControlNet
®
— Ethernet
®

Control interface
Ingeneral,thebasiccontrolinterfacebetweentheeldbus
system and the drive consists of:
• Output Words:
— CONTROL WORD
— REFERENCE (speed or frequency)
— Others: The drive supports a maximum of 15 output
words. Protocols limits may further restrict the total.
• Input Words:
— STATUS WORD
— Actual Value (speed or frequency)
— Others: The drive supports a maximum of 15 input
words. Protocols limits may further restrict the total.
NOTE: The words “output” and “input” are used as seen from
the eldbus controller point of view. For example an
output describes data ow from the eldbus controller
to the drive and appears as an input from the drive
point of view.
The meanings of the controller interface words are not
restrictedbytheMD5.However,theproleusedmayset
particular meanings.
